'Hawaii Five-0' Grace Park: 'Fame isn't fun'

Hawaii Five-0 actress Grace Park has suggested that being famous can have bizarre side-effects.

Park, who plays Kono on Hawaii Five-0, explained that she prefers to live a much more private existence than most actors.

"This has been a really interesting journey," she told Emmy magazine. "I'm really grateful [for Hawaii Five-0], but with that comes a lot of exposure."

Park went on to say: "There's an inordinate amount of attention put on actors. Some people want to make their lives public, but that doesn't mean everybody does. It kind of feels [as if] you landed in - well, not really Alice in Wonderland, because it's not that fun."

Park's breakthrough role was on the Canadian drama Edgemont, where she played a young woman struggling to come to grips with her sexuality. She would later go on to star in Battlestar Galactica and Jake 2.0.

Former Heroes star Masi Oka has been promoted to series regular for Hawaii Five-0's new season.
